Presented is a method for playing a social card game with a plurality of players and a dealer. The method includes providing at least two decks that each contain a plurality of social game playing cards that have indicia on a front surface of the card and on a back surface of the card. Each deck of playing cards is assigned a monetary value. The method also includes providing a playing surface having indicia indicating where players are to be positioned and markings including at least three frames indicating where playing cards are to be placed during play. The dealer sells at least one playing card to each of the players and then signals the start of a hand. The dealer selects a first player to begin and that player, in a non-verbal manner, offers at least one playing card to a second player who selects one of the at least three frames to place the offered playing card. Based on the where the offered playing card is placed, a determination is made to continue play with another player without loss of the offered playing card, or to continue play with another player with loss of the offered playing card, or to continue play because the second player directed the dealer to turn the offered card face-up.
